No sorry, the old wheel is still used with the retro fit kit, all that happens is that the spoke finishers at the "9 O clock and 3 O clock" position are changed for ones with switches.

Otherwise I would gladly have given you first dib's.

Hi Stats

There was talk of them having to change the clutch cylinder.

Apparently there is no way of telling if it needs to be changed until the programming process.

I understand that the cylinders are identical from the outside and thus you cannot tell if you have the right one. Most failures of the system to work following programming are due to the wrong cylinder which does not have the required metal strip inside to activate the micro switch to de-activate the cruise.

Hope this helps.
